Map Details for Forest2 |
||
Forest2, or Return To The Forest, or whatever you want to call it :) Basically, it's the same map as Forest. I added water (though not enough for an extended swim), environmental sounds and trees, fixed a few problems (there shouldn't be any more floating trees, but I can't garantee it, and the turrets on both sides shoot at enemies at least), better turret placement, and I made flying on the edge of the map more difficult. The visibility is also slightly better than on the first release. I hope you enjoy it, Sammy |

Grade: A » Submitted by Cpt_Fox on 12/28/01Good Job Sammy, I really thought that it was a good map, until I ran a Grav cycle into a tree! :) It gets stuck and sometimes the player too. The bots are really dumb too ;) easy snipe kills if it wasn't for that fog. Grade: A+ » Submitted by Steven Hawking on 07/20/01Damn this map looks like EQ... Anyway, i've been trying to get my clan to put this map in the sever rotaion. But of course they wont cause it's client-side. Oh well, Great map anyway. Grade: A+ » Submitted by PLANTMAN on 06/29/01This map is awesome. It was sheer ectasy to play. It reminded of my days romping through Greater Faydark in EQ before I left the MMORPG scene. I love the base layout, and the atmosphere is perfect. Plenty of oppurtunity to hide, but the turret layout doesn't make it TOO easy for the solo cappers. And be careful riding vehicles in here unless you like smashing into trees. Great map, it r0xx0rz! Trib0rz 20rz r0xx0rz@!!!11 U d0n't suxx0rz, in f4ct, you r0xx0rz! WOOOO000000!!1111 Grade: A- » Submitted by Burn14 on 06/19/01This is a breath of fresh air to the ordinary Tribes 2 maps. Its balanced, and it doesnt kill your FPS. Very good map, check it, you should't be dissapointed. Grade: B » Submitted by Asland [2mrn] on 05/27/01This is a very good map. Infact, if it was BOT friendly then I would have given it an A. A few mod issues, ie, "hollow trees" that allow you to get stuck in, or as a friend discovered, even hide a bike or turret in. I do love the use of trees, and no doubt the ambiance (frogs and birds) are a very nice touch that can really enhance game play. Kinda expect to see Yoda pop up somewhere :)... Grade: A » Submitted by sproket on 05/13/01Hey Sammy, nice work! The map has got some real atmostphere going on now. I just love being out there in the forest with all the crickets and birds now, really nicely done! Looks like you fixed all the floating objects too, overall the map looks a lot tighter. The water in the center base is great too and gives it that extra bit of personality that really makes it a lot of fun. Having the capture point underwater like that makes it a fun and tricky place to guard. Very nice. I would have gone A but there are still a few extremely minor things i noticed. The flags are not centered on their stands (pet peeve ;). The ramp from the vehicle pad doesnt quite touch the base and there is a stranded vehicle pad station behind one of the bases that is half underground (doesnt function). You should feel good though, it's only when you are this close to perfect that you start to notice little nitpicky things like that. Of all of the maps that I have downloaded (pretty much everything on this site :) Forest2 is in my top 3. Keep it up! Grade: C » Submitted by SammyF on 05/11/01Sorry. I just mailed Bytor to ask him to change the flag to NO. (yeah, I'm giving myself a C, but that's just because I don't want to rate my own maps ... It's too difficult to be objective:) Grade: A » Submitted by v5planet on 05/11/01Aw, yes, this is a great improvement over the original. Everything has been tweaked and it's a lot nicer now. Great job. And to you people who won't stop complaining this isn't server side: I know he forgot to select YES in "players must download", but stop threatening not to host a map just 'cause it's client-side. Server-side maps suck because you can never alter the terrain. If he wanted to make a server side version of forest it would really suck, because you've been on that terrain before. Don't kill client-side mapping - it's far superior ot server-side. Grade: A » Submitted by }|PG|{Undertaker on 05/10/01This is a great map, but it isnt't server side, so none of my ppls can play on it.Please Make this Map Server Side, I wont put anything on my server that is client side. Grade: B- » Submitted by Ron on 05/10/01This is, again, a client side map, not a server side map. Please change the "Players Must Download" to a YES. This looks like a cool map, but unless it is a server side map I will not run it on my server (unless downloads from the server is possible, next patch I hear?). If you can alter the map and make it a server side map, I would be happy to add it to my server. Thanks, Ron |

You did a really good job,considering this is a serverside map, and cant make your own shapes... the green fog is really cool, but a better sky could be used (it makes actually a big difference)
